I’m certainly old enough to remember age click throughs like that. And I certainly didn’t click through them too young, of course. *cough*yes I did*cough*
But that’s on me, not the site.
This is just pawning off responsibility.
There is literally no circumstance where I support age verification to access a website. As I've said before I'm very much the "there's nuance here" person on almost everything but on this issue there's no nuance for me, it's awful and horrible in and of itself and it also sets an awful and horrible precedent

If you guys know this stuff ahead of time than you know Clark is gonna grow up just fine, become the spearpoint of a new age of heroes INCLUDING the next champions of all 3 of you and everything will work out more or less for the best. Action Comics 794

Yep. A good try, but the two are just irreconcilable. These days, Krypton is more Silver Age than not. Until the next retcon.
Tumblr media
Like I said, a neat try but eventually the fact is always going to be that the two iconic versions of Krypton, pre and post crisis, are totally incongruous and we have to stick to one or the other. Action Comics 793

Ah, the Evangelical “if the world is meant to end, trying to prevent that is going against God’s will” type.

I mean if we're talking from a certain retcon's point of view, Krypton in GENERAL is just your star's latest obtuse art project. Action Comics 793

I’ve got a strong preference for the Silver Age Krypton, having been raised on stories from that era and made my distaste for Byrne’s Krypton pretty well known (though I really loved the use of it in Robinson’s Starman).
But you do make a good point.
Tumblr media
This is why I usually prefer Krypton to be fatally imperfect in my versions of Clark's backstory. He can't COME from something perfect because it means that the Kents didn't couldn't TEACH him anything. If Krypton was a utopia than Clark's humanity would be perfunctory. Action Comics 793

People being able to have a fallback so they aren’t forced to choose between a fealty to a job and homelessness is absolutely why the US won’t go for it. It would transfer tremendous power to the worker, because they wouldn’t have to put up with mistreatment.

Who gets top billing is very important. I remember in the 90’s several Marvel and DC crossovers split the difference by having each company publishing a different one shot with both characters, so the primary publisher’s character got the top slot.

I imagine the meetings to determine whether Godzilla's name goes first or second in the crossover title are very intense. Each company assembles a roster of lore experts, marketing gurus, and powerscalers; there's a complex points system; miniature buildings are routinely thrown.

This keeps getting better.
The problem with having a child with an attorney that has spoken to the child like an adult since birth is that she's 4 years old and she's negotiating the order in which we're going to complete tasks as a family to best suit her idea of an ideal day.
